DCG REDO: Spider-Friends: Firestar – Avengers Costume

Well I decided on this one cos i thought it was great casting and I also had a copy of this same base pic that Swingerbone used.

First i coloured all the skin and Alyson’s clothes to a similar flesh tone, then using cut’n’paste, smudge, and soften i proceeded to remove the clothes (ooer!). i then added a gold multiply layer and cut out the shape of the main uniform. the gloves and collar black were added anf highlighted manually. then i cut out the v-neckline. bosom added manually as well as shadows from the uniform neck. added some more highlighting on the body and legs. next i added the fire collar and cuffs, and the flaming star on the body.

I don’t yet have confidence in my hair creation skills to try and emulate the style Firestar usually has (shown in the little picture in the corner).

Mask added and blended red and orange. added flames using eyecandy plugin. the background picture is from webshots i think, burned with a flame layer. the flame layer is also duplicated over the entire picture with the transparency set at 50%. Finally added logo and Firestar picture grabbed from marvel site. All this took about 4 hours. Hope you all like it(specially you swingerbone)

About The Artist

I am a self confessed Comic Book geek and movie addict. I am particularly fond of the sci fi and fantasy genres. I am also an avid reader, techie and part time gamer. This is a collection of my genre fan art, both original works and attempts at inking and coloring the work of fellow artists.
